About Coconut Flour
Made from dried, defatted coconut meat, coconut flour is unusually absorbent — able to soak up several times its weight in liquid — which is why it can never be swapped 1:1 for any other flour.
Why the Weight Per Cup Varies
Coconut flour weighs 112g per cup, slightly lighter than plain flour, but its extreme absorbency means even small measurement variations noticeably thicken a batter — weighing is especially important here.
Names in Different Countries
